The 17 Best Winter Scarves That Are Basically Blankets by Talia Abbas and Erin Parker

It may be a new year with new opportunities, but the urge to stay swaddled like an infant in a burrito is alive and well. The best winter scarves, particularly ones that straddle the line between outerwear and a literal blanket, are here to make it possible to fulfill both desires—and not a moment too soon, if you ask us. 

The winter season is a long one, and while small fringed or pom-pom scarves may be mainstays in your cold-weather repertoire, it’s the giant plaid blanket scarf—most notably Acne Studios’ colorful tartan number—that has cemented itself as the must-have accessory according to cool girls and style influencers. Of course, not everyone has $290 lying around for an XXL swath of fabric (even if it’s incredibly soft and pretty), but the appeal is strong—dupes for similar checked styles have reached over 628 million views on TikTok. 

For similar big-cocoon energy, there are also long scarves with massive pockets, down neck warmers, and faux fur stoles from brands you know and love like Everlane, Kule, and Apparis. Best part? All of these can be naturally paired with other items already in your winter wardrobe—the beanies, mittens, and winter coats you need for staying toasty when stepping out.

No matter your personal taste (or 2022 style resolution), now’s not the time to mess around with your layering system, and these bedding-adjacent accessories deliver maximum points in the style and warmth department. Go forth and bundle up with 17 of the best winter scarves, below.

Fresh Start by Marlien Rentmeester

Three days into this (already challenging) new year, I’m baby-stepping my way in with some new easygoing yet wardrobe-refreshing basics, starting with the wear-with-everything And Other Stories oversized blazer, above, and this most perfectly-cut white Re/Done t-shirt (I seriously have not taken it off for almost a week), plus this just-discovered outfit-punctuating berry-hued lip oil by Westman Atelier (layer it over lipstick or on its own!) Inspiring me to get dressed despite the daunting headlines is my new style obsession with Renata Zandonadi Quaglia, below, (prompting me to want to wear this, this and this). Keep calm and carry on is my mantra right now!  

Why The Balaclava Is Winter’s Hottest Accessory by Aemilia Madden

There’s nothing like the blast of an icy breeze tearing across your face to remind you: winter weather is not to be messed with. Face one snowstorm or an early morning stuck outside, and you quickly realize that braving the elements requires preparation: a turtleneck to snuggle up to your chin, a heavy coat to batten down in, gloves to hold off the tingly bite of freezing fingers. And this winter, the balaclava is making a return among trendsetters as a practical pick to keep your head and face protected.(More Like This)This Retro Pants Trend Is The Anti Skinny JeanBy Kelsey StewartThis Vintage Jewelry Trend Is So SentimentalBy Laura Lajiness KaupkeThese 11 Engagement Ring Trends Will Rule in 2022By Laura Lajiness KaupkeMaximalism Isn’t Going Anywhere In 2022 — Here Are The Trends To KnowBy Emma Childs(Stay Up to Date)Become A Style InsiderJoin The Zoe Report’s exclusive email list for the latest trends, shopping guides, celebrity style, and more.I’D ALSO LIKE TO RECEIVE:The Zoe Report BeautySubmit

Though the balaclava is by no means new (the origin dates back to the Crimean war in 1854, when it was issued to soldiers to fight freezing winter temperatures), major fashion houses like Miu Miu and Marine Serre incorporated them into their Fall/Winter 2021 collections, helping to cement their reemergence. Add to that their burgeoning presence on social media — a rising trend on both Instagram and TikTok — and it’s easy to anoint the knitted head cover as this winter’s sub-zero trend to try. In fact, with the adjustment to full-time mask-wearing along with a surge in crafting over the last two years, there’s a through-line to the balaclava’s popularity. “The Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2021 show definitely inspired me to make my own balaclava,” explains Michelle Li, a stylist, writer, and creative director based in New York. “Instead of searching endlessly trying to guess which one would fit I just made my own.”

The granny-chic accessory has been on the industry’s radar for a few years, with Gucci and Calvin Klein helping to bring it back as early as 2018, but right now feels particularly relevant both as a means of protection, and way to get a bit more playful with practical fashion choices for those feeling more emboldened in their fashion choices. “I don’t really wear hats or beanies so this fills my head accessory void,” explains Li. “I love that it makes an outfit feel more seamless and clean and any opportunity to inject some knitwear into my outfit is always a huge plus.”

The balaclava’s current resurgence can also be tied back to the renewed popularity in ski-inspired fashion, with Fendi, Dior, and Chanel all releasing their own slopes-to-chalet capsules this season. “The balaclava is really the only hat to wear during the intense winter chill. It helps shield your face against freezing wind. I love that you can wear it over your face or cupped under your chin,” says Nikki Kule, founder of playful basics label Kule, and early advocate of the resurgent trend. “I was inspired to make our very first Moritz balaclava for KULE’s Fall 2017 collection by the famous photograph of Jackie O by Harry Benson (1968). We make fun trapper hats and dickie hoods, so the balaclava is a natural playful addition.”

Below, find all the inspiration you need for incorporating the balaclava into your own winter wardrobe. Consider this the proof you need: covering up can be chic.

Hit The Slopes

If your goal is to keep your face from getting chapped and cold on a day outdoors, one benefit of the balaclava is the easy way in which you can transition it from sitting below the chin, to covering everything but your eyes. Finish with a pair of oversized sunglasses for maximum coverage.

40 Winter Maternity Dresses for Bundling a Baby Bump by Laura Lajiness

For many mothers-to-be, personal style quickly falls to the wayside during pregnancy, not always for lack of effort but to simply make it through the woes of the first trimester at the very least. But rather than default to your sweats in cold weather, stylish winter maternity dresses abound this season, whether you’re in your first, second, or third trimester. Of course, there’s no shame in wearing whatever you feel most comfortable in—after all, nurturing yourself is most important when you’re growing life inside. But for moments when you’re inspired to level up from loungewear, cold-weather-ready sweaterdresses, long-sleeve silhouettes, turtlenecks, maxi-length styles, and more feel equally effortless as that coordinating sweatsuit with an infinitely more polished look.

If you’re not sure where to look for stylish maternity dresses for winter, there are, of course, pregnancy-specific brands that cater to a growing bump. But they’re not the only ones with great offerings. Many of your favorite designers and labels carry versatile designs that can accommodate your developing shape—the trick is sizing up and honing in on flexible and loose silhouettes, like knitted and voluminous dresses with lots of stretch and non-restricting waists.

Layering is also crucial. Some of the most comfortable maternity dresses are maxi styles crafted in soft jerseys or cotton. While they may feel a bit bare in the cold, you can toss on your coziest sweater on top or layer a long-sleeve bodysuit or fitted top underneath, finishing with tights and a warm coat for a full-on bundle. The same goes for loose-fitting shorter hemlines in lightweight fabrics and festive styles if you’re dressing for a holiday event—with an insulating layer or two in the mix, plus seasonally apropos suede boots, you’ll feel cozy as ever while looking très chic.

The Leisure Dress
